Comments Off on PAX East Omegathon Puts Competitors in Fickle Hands of Chance

Two lucky Omeganauts will walk away from PAX East with tickets, airfare and hotel accommodations for GAMESCOM, plus $2,500 in spending cash for each member of the winning team. In a new twist, competitors will be randomly assigned a teammate for the competition.

“We’ve done some team matches in past Omegathons, but in the final rounds it has always been one-on-one affairs. We really wanted to do something different for PAX East and hardcore team competitions got everyone excited,” said Robert Khoo of Penny Arcade. “Will you roll a 1 or a 20 when your partner is assigned? Only Fate knows.”

A total of 32 Omeganauts — 16 teams of 2 competitors — will be randomly drawn from the audience at the keynote speech by Wil Wheaton on Friday. Attendees must fill out and drop off the entry card found in the show bags at the beginning of the keynote to be eligible.
